Repair or replace in An Luirg?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

What affects the price in An Luirg

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

An Luirg questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you come to An Luirg?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to An Luirg. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Do you need sink repair in An Luirg?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • An original basin worth saving

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
